HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY SHIFT EAST OFF THE NORTHEAST ATLANTIC
COAST TODAY BUT THE EFFECTS OF CAD WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP A
RELATIVELY COOL AND DRY AIRMASS OVER THE REGION. AT OF 10AM,
TEMPERATURES HAVE STRUGGLED TO HIT THE 70 DEGREE MARK ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA WITH DEWPOINTS COMFORTABLY IN THE MID 50S. HIGHS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL TOP OUT IN THE LOWER 80S WITH UPPER 70S HIGHS IN
THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THE ONLY POTENTIAL IMPACT WILL BE PATCHY FOG
DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS TOMORROW, BUT THIS
SHOULD BE CONFINED MOSTLY TO OUR NORTH WHERE CAD EFFECTS ARE MORE
MINIMAL.

UPPER RIDGING WILL REMAIN DOMINANT OVER THE EASTERN CONUS FOR THE

REACHING THE MID 80S ESPECIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF I-65. A WEAK
DISTURBANCE WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NORTH FROM THE GULF ON SUNDAY AND
GRADIENT WINDS WILL INCREASE AS THIS TAKES PLACE. WE SHOULD SEE
PLENTY OF SUNSHINE ACROSS THE AREA THIS WEEKEND BUT BREEZY
SOUTHEASTERLY WIND GUSTS UP TO 20MPH MAY BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, PLACING THE TENNESSEE

RETURNING TO THE AREA. HOWEVER, MODEL DISAGREEMENT REMAINS
PERSISTENT AND THEREFORE THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THESE RAIN
